Practical Applications in Sports Nutrition
Authors: Heather Hedrick Fink, Alan E. MikeskyOVERVIEW
Practical Applications in Sports Nutrition, Seventh Edition provides students with the latest sports nutrition information and dietary practices enabling them to assist athletes and fitness enthusiasts in achieving their personal performance goals. Drawing from the latest data and statistics from nutrition research and guidelines, the authors demonstrate effective ways to communicate sports nutrition messages to athletes and outline how to motivate individuals to make permanent behavior change.
Early chapters introduce sports nutrition and give a thorough explanation of macronutrients, micronutrients, and water, and their relation to athletic performance, while later chapters focus on the practical and applied aspects of sports nutrition including behavior change through consultations and weight management. Updated throughout, the Seventh Edition includes new or expanded discussion of sports nutrition organizations; working as an interdisciplinary team; ketogenic diets; third party testing of dietary supplements; Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S); and offers new research on fiber, gut microbiome; and athletic performance.
